MUSA Wars 2026: From Genting to Monash by Choy Sheng Jie

MUSA Wars 2026, a yearly spectacle where all collective departments within the student body unite for competitive camaraderie, and amidst the heat, rise victors who claim discounted feasts via Grab rewards. This year was no different than the previous years, as excitement buzzed in the room where participants gathered. The constant chatter provides a true…

MUSA DID WHAT #4 : A vote that doesn’t sit right by Rohmatus Saniyah

EMERGENCY MEETING. I don’t know when I will finish writing this, even as one of the fastest meetings I have attended, the weight of what just happened lingers longer than the meeting itself. The issue is serious. And the room knew it.  The announcement travelled fast, through side conversations, and the thin, familiar walls of…

C&S Week S1 2026 : Through Three Lense By : Azreen, Harry & Bryan

Did you hear? Apparently, Monash came to life. On most days, the campus moves with a certain predictability. Corridors stay quiet, stairways echo with occasional footsteps, and classrooms fill with students arriving somewhere between eager and exhausted. Some come to learn, some come to sleep and some convince themselves that waking up at 8 a.m….

MUSA DID WHAT #3: When Student Life Meets Student Strife by Rohmatus Saniyah

While wars rage outside, internal battles in MUSA continue within. Not the kind fought with weapons, but the quieter struggles of student governance – negotiations behind closed doors, delayed responses, unanswered emails, and the constant balancing act between student initiatives and institutional process. The third Monash Student Council meeting began at 7 pm, marking the…

February Orientation 2026: The ecstasy of a fresh start by Rohmatus Saniyah

The fresh breeze with the quiet hum of Monday morning blues decides to greet the week in the softest way possible. The welcoming session carried that unmistakable tension for the ‘first day’: hands clutching phones, sleepy eyes, conversation happening in a low, careful tone as students adjusted themselves to fluorescent lights. This semester’s cohort is…

MUSA DID WHAT #2: Blueprints & Big Questions

by Rohmatus Saniyah WE have an interesting yet whimsical update from various divisions and departments. MSC 2 felt more like the paperwork before the firework. They kept us at the edge of our seats and told us to wait and see till the day comes. This meeting was not loud, nor particularly dramatic, it was…

MUSA DID WHAT #1: New Year, Before the Noise

by Rohmatus Saniyah MONGA unofficially dubbed this meeting a void catcher for a reason. Not long after 2026 was born, the year began quietly, with a concise agenda laid out by the MUSA General Secretary for the first Monash Student Council meetings–MSC 1.1 and MSC 1.2– with the first meeting held on what happened to…

Cinemusica: Experiencing Music in Motion by Reona

In the debilitating lull of overlapping assignments, the looming threat of exams and the existential dread of being a student, the cinemusica was the best experience for a temporary solution to forgetting all of those things.  Walking into campus felt ordinary like any other day but walking into auditorium 2 past the crowd of excited…

Monash Ball ‘25: A Magical Night in Atlantis 

The semester is finally over! And for some of us that means a nice, chill holiday before the next semester starts again or finding a job and getting ready for graduation. But before the coming future of endless possibilities begins, MUSA Activities put together one last huzzah for Monashians. A night of fun-filled activities and…

Rebellion through Glitch and the Iconoclastic Malaysian Hyperpop

Our Malaysian world is a world of vertigo.  Tanah Malaysia kita pusing berputar dan muzik menghulurkan maksud kepada kehidupanmu yang terpaksa dipolitikkan.  The politicisation of hyperpop has unabashedly become a resistance towards politically-motivated crimes against humanity, acquiring the ephemeral freedom to express and utilising that as a political tool when politicians use our lives as…

Monch! 117 Coffee Dine, Cheras – Bring Forth the Chazuke

Minimalism does not necessarily operate through the idea of subversiveness. We’ve reclaimed that idea and transmuted it into perceptions that are comforting and inviting. The maximalism-minimalism continuum does not exist in isolation of food and beverage. It is very much characteristically unique to the branding of the restaurant and we see these motifs carefully intertwined…
